Unemployed Celtic hero eyed for shock return to club just TWO MONTHS after they released him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Celtic and Scotland star could make a shock return to his former club this summer - just two months after they released him. Stuart Armstrong is currently without a club and has been weighing up his next move since leaving Sheffield Wednesday at the end of last season. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 1 Stuart Armstrong playing for Sheffield Wednesday last season Credit: Alamy The Celtic hero, 33, was one of seven players to be released by the Owls after they finished the season in 12th place in the English Championship. He only joined the club on a short-term deal in January following a stint in the MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps. Wednesday have been left in a predicament this summer as they can only sign free agents after they failed to pay wages on time. The transfer embargo prohibits the club from signing any players for a fee until January 2027. That leaves boss Danny Rohl having to rely on his current crop of stars and experienced free agents for the next 18 months. But many of his current players could leave in the coming weeks, with Rangers closing in on a deal for star winger Djeidi Gassama. The Light Blues have also reportedly expressed interest in re-signing former striker Josh Windass. And in the meantime Rohl is looking to get his team in the best shape possible with moves for players they ARE allowed to sign. SunSport understands Armstrong is one them after he featured 11 times in the Championship last season, providing one assist. Wrexham have enquired about the 33-year-old as well but have yet to make a move. It's understood the Owls may step in with an offer in the coming days but he will likely be offered less cash that what he was on last season.
